Виталик Бутерин ретвитнул прогресс разработки Nethermind и заявил, что Nethermind продолжает повышать эффективность и скорость работы Ethereum.Основной разработчик Nethermind Бен Адамс сообщил, что его плагин Beacon Chain завершил синхронизацию и готов к ответу на форк Glamsterdam в Sepolia; запуск уровня выполнения Ethereum и уровня консенсуса как одного приложения, похоже, не привел к значительным дополнительным затратам памяти.Фонд Ethereum ранее подтвердил, что Glamsterdam будет активирован 6 октября в Sepolia, версия Nethermind 2.1.0 уже поддерживает это обновление.

Согласно сообщениям ChainCatcher и The Block, Benchmark Equity Research в среду повысила целевую цену для Hut 8 с 165 долларов до 195 долларов. Это уже второе повышение целевой цены для Hut 8 в этом месяце, в основном из-за завершения полной коммерциализации их дата-центра Beacon Point AI в Техасе.Hut 8 ранее объявила, что подписала второе 15-летнее арендное соглашение на общую сумму 9,8 миллиарда долларов с существующими арендаторами, что увеличило подписанную мощность в парке Beacon Point до 704 МВт и повысило общую контрактную стоимость этого парка мощностью 1 ГВт до 19,6 миллиарда долларов. Benchmark заявила, что новая целевая цена по-прежнему имеет около 75% потенциала роста по сравнению с ценой акций Hut 8, которая на тот момент составляла около 111 долларов.Кроме того, в оценку Hut 8 от Benchmark также включены 10,278 биткойнов, которые компания держит, стоимость которых по текущим ценам составляет почти 680 миллионов долларов, а также 60% доля в компании American Bitcoin.

BNB Chain posted on platform X that the first phase of the BNB Beacon Chain recovery tool will stop operating in 3 days. If users hold BEP2 tokens on the BNB Beacon Chain, they should migrate them to BSC as soon as possible to expedite processing.

Vitalik posted on the X platform, stating that we should maintain an open attitude towards the current separation of the Ethereum beacon chain and execution clients, believing that the complexity of running two daemons and having them communicate with each other is significantly higher than running a single daemon.Vitalik pointed out that Ethereum's goal is to allow users to use the network in a self-hosted manner and have a good user experience, which in many cases means needing to run their own nodes. However, the current way of running nodes adds unnecessary complexity. He suggested that in the short term, a more standardized foundational packaging solution could allow users to install Docker images of different clients and achieve more convenient communication. At the same time, as the LeanEthereum consensus scheme matures, the overall architectural design should also be reconsidered in the future.

BNB Chain announced on platform X that starting today, the BNB Beacon Chain token migration tool will gradually cease operations in three phases.BNB Beacon Chain asset holders should use the tool to migrate their tokens to BSC as soon as possible to achieve faster processing speeds.
